hi, Im having a small prolem with my internet connection... I am using Kppp and dialing up into NTLWORLD...
I get connected no problem, but when I am connected it takes ages for the connection to actually realise I have aksed for something on the net and start loading it (about 5-10 seconds)... I really dont know how to solve this problem, can someone please help me..

It sounds like you may also be having some trouble with your DNS resolution. Try changing around the order of the nameservers you have listed in /etc/resolv.conf. (or, try adding different nameservers that might be faster/more reliable.)

If you've got one nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf that's listed first and is no longer up and running, that can cause the slowness you're describing since each query has to wait for a timeout before it goes to the next nameserver.
